For those that know me on Ravelry or Facebook you might have caught wind that some crazy lady is looking for a yarn that is about 28 meters per gram.
That lady would be me.
You see I've been looking to start a couple of projects in such fine lace that one of them is a king size bedspread and when I'm done with it, it will weight less then a pound.
Well I finally found the yarn! I've ordered about 1.3 lbs of it and the book for the Rose of England.
Now you might say that I'm demented ::cough:: JM ::cough::, or you might have felt that I'm a dpn short of a full set, but I feel that I'm up to this challenge. I think it may take me about 2-3 years to finish this shawl but you need to keep in mind that this is not something I'll be using every day and wearing. Its an heirloom I plan on leaving to my kids someday so that they will have proof of how crazy I really was:

I have no doubt that you can do it. And yes I do think it is crazy, but as I keep saying, you are my kind of crazy!
ReplyDeleteYou're not crazy, just ambitious! It's sort of like checking off things on your bucket list. 90" diameter table cloth knitted in #30 Egyptian cotton on tiny needles - Check! It took me about 3 years of knitting sporadically while going to school. I gave it to my mom for all her help and support while I made a mid-life career change. My friends only thought I was crazy for giving it away! - Theresa
ReplyDeleteNo doubt yours will be an efficient project and a beautiful result. Crazy? Yes, but in an adorable way. <3
